Unified licensing and AI-driven control have simplified multi-site management and boosted automation
There is a little bit of delay for the analytics in ExtremeCloud IQ, but it is acceptable. The response time in ExtremeCloud IQ is a little slow. The system response time is slow, and the updates on the system, such as the updates for the analytics or for the location-based services, are slow. For example, if I want to update the location-based solution, it takes about one minute to update my location. This is too much time. It's not an accurate location over one minute. They should enhance the response of the system part of location-based services, such as Extreme LPS or Extreme Location Essentials. This needs a huge improvement for the latency and for the updates.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The initial setup of ExtremeAnalytics is straightforward and user-friendly."
"The most valuable feature of ExtremeAnalytics is wireless intrusion prevention."
"The solution's scalability is a ten out of ten."
"The application response latency is valuable and suitable for troubleshooting."
"We integrated Aerohive into our Cisco-centric environment in 2008 and never looked back."
"Customer service is excellent."
"ExtremeCloud offers features that not a lot of other vendors do like their data storage and the ability to swap licenses."
"We have been able to increase the bandwidth accessible to our users ten-fold though RADIUS server authentication with our MS Active Directory."
"The technical support for this solution is good."
"I would recommend Aerohive to anyone seeking a robust cloud-based WIFI system."
"I like ExtremeCloud IQ's unified single-pane-of-glass dashboard; it offers a lot of visibility of performance, and it's great for troubleshooting because you don't have to go to 55 different places and can get the information you need with just a few clicks."
"I'd encourage anyone to use Aerohive products, they've been trouble free, they're timely with upgrades (including new functionality)."
 

Cons

"The solution's stability needs to be improved."
"There are issues with cloud distribution of the servers, and it could be faster."
"ExtremeAnalytics could improve application control. The URL filtering is not working properly. We have had issues with the reports and heat maps not working as expected. We have been receiving download errors when attempting to retrieve the heat maps and reports."
"There are some things that need to be fixed. For example, the solution will show us that there are some issues, but when we try to find those issues, we can't see them."
"The only area of improvement we made ourselves so far is the temporary visitor solution in HiveManager NG which is quasi non-existent."
"The Virtual Appliance crashed once while doing an upgrade. The good thing here is, even if the management system fails, all our networks and features still remain 100% stable and working."
"We have had some mediocre to poor experiences with tech support: Conflicting information, condescending attitudes, and reluctance to work to resolve an issue."
"From our perspective, we would love to see Aerohive provide faster feature enhancement in their Virtual Appliance to match the features with the cloud solution more quickly."
"The only thing that I can think of would be for them to provide a standard out-of-the-box WiFi policy template that could work as temp default setup without having to build a functional network policy in the Hive Manager."
"The firewall inside the AP is a little limited in what it can do."
"The response time in ExtremeCloud IQ is a little slow. The system response time is slow, and the updates on the system, such as the updates for the analytics or for the location-based services, are slow."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of the solution is approximately $100 to $120 and is paid annually."
"The pricing is an eight out of ten."
"This solution offers annual licensing that is middle of the range in terms of cost."
"ExtremeCloud IQ's pricing is medium, but its support contract costs more."
"For example, if you compare Aruba vs Aerohive, you need to check which licences from Aruba you need to match the functionality of Aerohive (usually you need at least three types of licences and a controller with redundancy). The same goes with Cisco, where you need buy additional licences for central management, firewall, spectral analysis, WIPS, PPSK, etc. Aerohive has a very simple model - one licence for all the functionalities - and you can believe that there are many. One licence makes it easy to maintain, scale, renew and you can plan your costs 10 years in advance."
"Previously, ExtremeCloudIQ provided free licensing for all the basic requirements of their customers. An advanced cloud user had to purchase advanced licenses for automation and advanced country features at the enterprise level. They have restricted the licensing, allowing only up to ten units for testing, which is challenging. This limitation becomes problematic, especially in countries like Sri Lanka or other Asian countries, where customers face economic challenges and have limited budgets. The previous free option was beneficial, but it has become tougher to manage with these new changes. They should revise their pricing structure, offering the basic features free of charge for up to 50 AP. Larger entities with more than 50 APs have the budget to support them. Still, it becomes more difficult for small and medium-sized businesses with less than 50 APs to allocate a significant budget for control and management features."
"It is costly as compared to Meraki, Aruba, Juniper, and Cisco. Cloud IQ is an enterprise solution, whereas Meraki is specifically a single solution."
"It is easy for customers to use this product because they are able to interchange the license depending on their usage rather than having to buy individual licenses for each asset."
"It is not the cheapest product but I think that the price is reasonable because you get a lot of support of it's needed."
"The product pricing is reasonable."
